USB Charger Can Light Dark Places" src="http://www.luxury-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Solar-Powered-USB-Hub-300x224.jpg" alt="Solar Powered USB Charger Can Light Dark Places" width="300" height="224" /> In a classic case of inventor’s block, the team at Brando Workshop responsible for this portable handheld charger have dubbed it “The USB Solar Charging 4 Port Hub with Torch.”

What it does is charge your handheld devices anywhere (well, except underwater) with its own powerful battery that can be replenished with a little sunshine. Or maybe a lot more sunshine considering the hard work it does.

But wait! It’s not only compact and easy-to-use, but comes with a neat LCD flash light—see those tiny bulbs at the corner? They also indicate when the hub has finished charging its own batteries.

So if you’re in a situation that leaves you either shrouded in darkness or with a laptop/smartphone running on empty, why, you’ll be super-glad to own one of these babies. To think it only costs $22. Essential is what it is, I’m telling you.
